Steve Peixotto has been shooting in Spanish and in English for many years. Having lived and worked in Mexico, he now splits his time between San Francisco, California, and San Francisco, Nayarit. His ability to work (sans translator) with Spanish speaking talent, clients and crew makes working in Spanish-speaking countries with Steve really easy.

When asked for a keyword to describe her dad, Steve’s daughter said “extra”. “I think she’s describing my attention to detail, my desire to push boundaries and do whatever it takes to make strong imagery that tells a client’s story better than the client had hoped”, says Steve.

His son says his dad in “interesting”. Steve clinched a little when he heard 'interesting', reminiscing art school and the baggage associated with that word. But ultimately, Steve thinks it's cool that his teenage son thinks he is interesting.

Steve’s wife describes him as “Google”. “That nickname (Google)”, Steve says, "speaks to my unrelenting curiosity, and pretty good memory. My curiosity leads to me having a decent understanding of some pretty obscure facts which I can somehow draw on at the most unexpected times”. It also leads to some very “interesting” photography.

Steve Peixotto is an award-winning American photographer who splits his time between San Francisco, California and Mexico. He speaks both Spanish and English and has been shooting all over the world for advertising clients since 1998.

Steve is known for his versatility and attention to detail, as well as for his difficult to sound out last name. He loves collaborating with other creatives and helping them make their concepts come to life.

Steve has been called everything from Peeshooter to Pistachio. It sounds more like pay-show-toe.

"Guess which two are lies:

Steve has a special love for exotic foods, especially for anything originating in the sea. Steve and three of his ski buddies survived an avalanche in 2015. Emulating Ozzy Osbourne, Steve once bit the head off of a salamander. Steve started a craft brewery in Mexico. Steve’s first assistant once made a joke to the lady at the check in counter at an airport about a bomb.

Drop a note with your guess."

The twins spoke Spanish before they spoke English, and having lived both in Mexico and the USA they are very attached to their communities in both countries. Steve is a proud father and husband.
